296 | <h3 id="why-did-you-create-shaarli">Why did you create Shaarli ?</h3> | |
297 | <p>I was a StumbleUpon user. Then I got fed up with they big toolbar. I switched to delicious, which was lighter, faster and more beautiful. Until Yahoo bought it. Then the export API broke all the time, delicious became slow and was ditched by Yahoo. I switched to Diigo, which is not bad, but does too much. And Diigo is sslllooooowww and their Firefox extension a bit buggy. And… oh… <strong>their Firefox addon sends to Diigo every single URL you visit</strong> (Don't believe me ? Use <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tamper-data/">Tamper Data</a> and open any page).</p> | |
298 | <p>Enough is enough. Saving simple links should not be a complicated heavy thing. I ditched them all and wrote my own: Shaarli. It's simple, but it does the job and does it well. And my data is not hosted on a foreign server, but on my server.</p> | |
299 | <h3 id="why-use-shaarli-and-not-deliciousdiigo">Why use Shaarli and not Delicious/Diigo ?</h3> | |
300 | <p>With Shaarli:</p> | |
301 | <ul> | |
302 | <li>The data is yours: It's hosted on your server.</li> | |
303 | <li>Never fear of having your data locked-in.</li> | |
304 | <li>Never fear to have your data sold to third party.</li> | |
305 | <li>Your private links are not hosted on a third party server.</li> | |
306 | <li>You are not tracked by browser addons (like Diigo does)</li> | |
307 | <li>You can change the look and feel of the pages if you want.</li> | |
308 | <li>You can change the behaviour of the program.</li> | |
309 | <li>It's magnitude faster than most bookmarking services.</li> | |
310 | </ul> | |
311 | <h3 id="what-does-shaarli-mean">What does Shaarli mean?</h3> | |
312 | <p>Shaarli is for shaaring your links.</p> | |
313 | <h3 id="my-shaarli-is-broken">My Shaarli is broken!</h3> | |
314 | <p>First of all, ensure that both the <a href="../Server-configuration">web server</a> and <a href="../Shaarli-configuration">Shaarli</a> are correctly configured, and that your installation is <a href="../Server-requirements">supported</a>.</p> | |
315 | <p>If everything looks right but the issue(s) remain(s), please: | |
316 | - take a look at the <a href="../Troubleshooting">troubleshooting</a> section | |
317 | - come <a href="https://gitter.im/shaarli/Shaarli">chat with us</a> on Gitter, we'll be happy to help ;-) | |
318 | - browse active <a href="https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues">issues</a> and <a href="https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/pulls">Pull Requests</a> | |
319 | - if you find one that is related to the issue, feel free to comment and provide additional details (host/Shaarli setup) | |
320 | - else, <a href="https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/new">open a new issue</a>, and provide information about the problem: | |
321 | - <em>what happens?</em> - display glitches, invalid data, security flaws... | |
322 | - <em>what is your configuration?</em> - OS, server version, activated extensions, web browser... | |
323 | - <em>is it reproducible?</em></p> | |
324 | <h3 id="why-not-use-a-real-database-files-are-slow">Why not use a real database? Files are slow!</h3> | |
325 | <p>Does browsing <a href="http://sebsauvage.net/links/">this page</a> feel slow? Try browsing older pages, too.</p> | |
326 | <p>It's not slow at all, is it? And don't forget the database contains more than 16000 links, and it's on a shared host, with 32000 visitors/day for my website alone. And it's still damn fast. Why?</p> | |
327 | <p>The data file is only 3.7 Mb. It's read 99% of the time, and is probably already in the operation system disk cache. So generating a page involves no I/O at all most of the time.</p> | |
